All behind England in Group K of the World Cup qualifiers. Yes, because the Three Lions, who already have a perfect score and have not conceded a goal in three games, are sure to take first place.
Second place, which is worth a place in the playoffs, will be contested by Albania, Latvia, and Serbia. The hosts, with four points in three games, don’t have much hope. They know they have to try, because that’s the right thing to do, but they also know that Serbia is stronger and has a better chance of winning and taking second place.
Now, we don’t want to say that Latvia will lack motivation—because that can’t be the case—but the motivation that Serbia has in this group, which really gives them the chance to think about something big, is very different.
Three goals scored and zero conceded in two games for the visitors, who have four points in the standings and a real chance of finishing second, especially since Albania, who have one more point, also have two more games to play. So it is clear that there is a technical gap. In short, watch out for an away win.

The prediction
Serbia’s defense is unbeaten so far and should remain so. Up front, the visitors have players capable of scoring at any moment. An away win, therefore, in a match with only one team scoring.
